I knew nothing about the Rhino before this build. I saw the box art and thought it was an interesting looking vehicle that was really eye-catching. I did a little research and found it to be a very impressive vehicle, and looked like a fun build.

This is completely OOB, with no upgrades at all. It was a fairly quick build for me, taking about 3 weeks from start to finish. It was my first Takom model as well, and I was very impressed with the quality, so will buy from them again.

Nice work. Interesting camo, where did you find it because I have same kit awaiting for paint and all I could find are sand and three colour scheme.

However there are some differences in the turret configuration for the UAE version compared to the SADF one.

The camo is based almost entirely on this image: As stated above, there are differences in the turret that can be seen in this photo. I liked the camo better than the 3 tone, or the sand base so went with this one. My pleasure, glad you like it

What a cool-looking combat vehicle! Reminds me of something from "Aliens" it's that futuristic. Love the paint & weathering!

Wow. Fascinating subject, extremely well rendered! Well done!! You think this looks SciFi? Check out the proposed G6 Marksman!! I'd definitely pick up a 35th model of that!!
